Subject: Re: [Int-area] Review of draft-bi-intarea-savi-wlan



Those are minor compared to the two big issues I see.  The first is a 
limitation we see today with the IETF WiFi network.  That is, we want to do 
IPv6 prefix delegation to wireless clients, and we cannot since the controller 
is doing mapping like what is described in this draft and not looking at the 
results of PD leases.  How does SAVI address PD?  To me, any standard around 
wireless address validation MUST account for PD.

 

LH>In fact, we have also considered support for PD in the -03 version. Like 
described in RFC7513, ACs and APs can listen to DHCP-PD messages exchanged 

between wireless clients and DHCP servers to establish binding between secured 
MAC addresses and IPv6 prefixes for wireless clients. This is also mentioned 

in Section 10 of draft-ietf-v6ops-dhcp-pd-per-device-08.

 

[JMC] Figures Lorenzo would account for this.  We were trying to run an 
experiment on this back in SFO but could not.  Yes, that text in Section 10 is 
exactly what I had in mind.  SAVI for wireless MUST take PD into account.




LH>Copy that.  




[JMC] Another use case to consider is VMs on wireless hosts behind ACs.  Today, 
those tend to play with chaddr in DHCPv4.  I know there are DHCP snooping 
implementations that do not like this.  It might be nice to provide for 
allowances for such things.




LH>We will carefully consider such scenarios:)
